 Posted: Wed Jul 24, 2013 3:12 pm Post subject: Enlarging Holes for Conduit in Fuselage |
 |
|
I would like to run a 1" conduit down each side of the fuselage rear of
the main spar to the tail cone. Both F1034A and F1005A have 5/8 " holes
on either end for wiring in this area. I would have to enlarge those
holes to 1 1/4 " to accommodate the conduit. However I am not sure what
that would do to the integrity of the airplane. Looking in the archives,
others seem to have done this. What type of assurance was found that
this would not weaken the airplane?

You have a couple options without having such a large hole. Why not run multiple smaller conduit lines, or use grommets in the existing holes and not use conduit at all. Additionally you can run lines under the rear seat and baggage compartment floors.

If integrity is a concern, why noy add doblers around the enlarged holes on the bulkhead?
Cheers,

I did enlarge the holes in my aircraft to run the conduit. I was told by one of the staff at Vans that it would not compromise the integrity of the air frame. I did do the minimum of enlargement so that I had to really pull the conduit through. Also, run an extra string through there if you need to pull another wire through there in the future.
